Sourdough Discard Pizza Dough

I’m a pizza girly through and through. We end up eating some variation of pizza roughly once a week, and lately I’ve been making it with my sourdough discard. It’s delicious, affordable, and I know exactly what goes into the crust of my pizza. So long additives and ingredients I can’t pronounce. Give this oneContinue reading “Sourdough Discard Pizza Dough”

BBQ Wild Turkey Sandwiches

Considering we don’t buy meat from the grocery store anymore, I now have to transform wild game meat in a way that I can still use my old recipes. These BBQ Wild Turkey Sandwiches are no exception. Rather than pulled pork, I substituted in shredded wild turkey legs which works surprisingly well. Texture is theContinue reading “BBQ Wild Turkey Sandwiches”

Roasted Garlic Hummus

Hummus is one of my favorite snacks, but I’ve always been weary when buying from the grocery store. There are so many unnecessary ingredients that are added to hummus that’s been prepared to sell at grocery stores. When making it at home, I know exactly what goes into it, which makes me feel better. AsContinue reading “Roasted Garlic Hummus”

Venison Chorizo

I’ve always loved the flavor of chorizo sausage but since Connor & I don’t buy meat from the grocery store anymore, I’ve definitely been missing it. I had a few extra packages of ground venison in the freezer, so I thought I’d try my hand at making venison chorizo. This recipe is full of flavorContinue reading “Venison Chorizo”

Bear Chili

I was FINALLY able to get my hands on some bear meat so naturally the first thing I cooked was bear chili. Due to the possibility of trichinosis (a food-bourne disease caused by the parasite called Trichinella), in the meat, bear must be cooked to an internal temperature of 160°F. Therefore, I try to incorporateContinue reading “Bear Chili”

Homemade Maple Pecan Granola

This past Christmas I decided to make a lot of the gifts I gave to my family. One of the goodies I included in the basket was this homemade maple pecan granola. It was a hit! Since making granola, Connor and I have stopped buying cereal at the store. We’ve wanted to make this switchContinue reading “Homemade Maple Pecan Granola”

Hearty Gnocci & Lengua Soup

Yes, lengua is another name for tongue and yes I know a lot of people are disgusted with the idea of eating tongue. I can understand this view on eating a muscle like the tongue, however, Connor and I really try to eat as much of an animal as possible. Tongue is no exception! TheContinue reading “Hearty Gnocci & Lengua Soup”

How to Cook: Wild Turkey Legs

My “How to Cook” posts are intended to provide guidance on how to cook different types of wild game. When I first started experimenting with different types of meat, I couldn’t find a lot of advice and recipes on certain types of wild game. Through trial and error I’ve learned what works best when preparingContinue reading “How to Cook: Wild Turkey Legs”

Wild Turkey & Bean Enchiladas

Growing up, my mom used to make enchiladas with beef, but now that Connor & I don’t buy beef from the grocery store, I figured I would substitute out the beef with shredded wild turkey legs. I was so pleased! The great thing about this recipe is you could swap out the turkey for whateverContinue reading “Wild Turkey & Bean Enchiladas”

How to Cook: Snowshoe Hare

I think there’s often a bad connotation with eating rabbit because they’re considered cute & fluffy. Connor has been hunting rabbits with dogs and recently he brought rabbit legs home for me to try some new recipes with. Rabbit legs reminded me of a smaller turkey leg so I figured I’d throw it in theContinue reading “How to Cook: Snowshoe Hare”
